Personalized Care for Your Pregnancy and Birth
What is a Midwife?
Honouring your body, your birth, your choices
Registered midwives are health care professionals who provide expert primary care to you and your baby during pregnancy, labour, birth and 6-weeks postpartum.
The Canadian midwifery model of care is based on four core principles: continuity of care, informed choice, evidence-based practice and choice of birth setting.
